History YMMV / IggyAzalea

* {{Narm}}: "First things first, I'm the realest" can come off as this, given that it's said by a white Australian in a fake "ghetto" accent.

* UnfortunateImplications: [[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/olivia-cole/dear-forbes-this-is-why-i_b_5366159.html There has been]] [[http://hollywoodlife.com/2014/07/24/nicki-minaj-disses-iggy-azalea-twitter-racism/ controversy]] over Iggy Azalea's act (most notably, imitating a black Southern accent) being racist, along with cultural appropriation.

** That one [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFPUqXrztS8 incomprehensible freestyle]] she did on stage made the rounds on Vine and Twitter.

* DeaderThanDisco: Due to allegations of cultural appropriation and the world moving on from her style of music, it's safe to say that Iggy's time has come and gone.

* SignatureSong: "Fancy" is the song people usually first think of when they hear her name, and earned the #4 position on the 2014 ''Billboard Hot 100'' Year-End charts.

* {{Mondegreen}}:
** "First thing's first, amaryllis."
** "I'm gonna love ya, gonna love ya, gonna love ya, like a black widdle baby!"

* HypeBacklash: As "Fancy" stayed on the Billboard charts at #1, the ensuing media along with Iggy and her team tried to make her the current face of hip-hop. The song was very successful, but it was pointed out it was in due partly due to [[Creator/ClearChannel iHeartMedia]] [[http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/style-blog/wp/2014/07/15/clear-channels-on-the-verge-program-helped-make-iggy-azalea-a-star-heres-how-it-works/ making their stations play it at least 150 times.]] The hype backlash (along with several rappers and news outlets questioning her authenticity) pretty much guaranteed her spot as a polarizing rapper. There are also plenty of people who criticize her getting the lion's share of the accolades for the song, when Music/CharliXCX is the one singing the catchiest part of the song and was just as involved in writing the song as Iggy was (if not more).

** First thing's first, amaryllis.
** I'm gonna love ya, gonna love ya, gonna love ya, like a black widdle baby!

* SignatureSong: Either "Fancy" or "Black Widow".
* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: Try hearing the opening notes of "Fancy" without being instantly reminded of Music/TheKnife's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPD8Ja64mRU Heartbeats]]."
* TwoHitWonder: Despite having a massive following and being a well-known household name, "Fancy" and "Black Widow" are the only two hits the Australian rapper managed to garner in the United States as a lead artist, disincluding her feature on Ariana Grande's massive hit "Problem". She has had a bit more success though in the UK where she has had 4 top 10 singles and another 3 made the top 20.

* SnarkBait: She's built up a massive vocal hatedom that makes the one Music/NickiMinaj has pale in comparison.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Or rather, Americans Love Iggy Azalea. She's more popular in the United States than in her native Australia. This is why she moved to the United States in the first place; she felt that Australia hated {{Rap}}, so she moved to America by herself when she was sixteen.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Her 2014 VMA performance of "Black Widow" with Music/RitaOra.

** Also, "I'm a black widow baby" from "Black Widow".
